“Self-Accountable”  cji 10/28/12

 

From time to time evidence appears and then is stuffed away in a corner – as being non-politically correct.  When this happens – misinformation is disseminated rather than actual facts.  Many then blame this theory or that book or this person as the blame for this happening.  It is my contention that each and every person is accountable and responsible for what they choose to believe in their lives.  To blame someone else is to abdicate the agency given to each of us in our Mortality First Aid Kit when we left the presence of our Heavenly Father to sojourn on this earth.  When one abdicates their agency – then they empower another to run their lives – either for good or bad – or mostly for the selfish interests of the one who is working the controls.  Darwin is at the center of this blame game – but how many even know who he was or have read his books?  On the other hand many blame God – again without having read the Scriptures or studied them out in their hearts.  Reading here and there and what others have written is not the same and never will be.  Spencer W. Kimball – likened the writings of men to that of the Father or Son (or their servants) as the water which has passed through the barn yard of life.  These writings can become so polluted that one will struggle to understand – which is why one needs to stay with the primary source material in their lives. 

 

We can't really blame Darwin - he went with what he had to deal with - a father who's teachings didn't make sense (he was a minister) - raised and sent to various denominational school - best friend was another minister - and none made any sense to him and they couldn't answer his questions.  He was quite brilliant - was not a hedonist - had a wonderful family - and was exposed to the best in Europe Social Strata and then went for a voyage on a ship which visited places he'd only heard of.  He compared one with the other - saw the apes and other animals - saw the abject poverty and the savages of some islands (or to him savages).  Islanders tend to get upset when foreigners land - cheat you in trade - rape your women - kill your men - and then return to think they can do it again. 

 

He put forth a theory - evolution - in his own book and with those he worked he said he couldn't prove it - but when Spencer added in the Survival of the Fittest - the theory was doomed to survive!  England and Europe at the time was one of the haves and the have-nots - they loved it (the haves). 

 

Those who feel there is no longer a need for God - men/women are smarter and have greater wisdom (ask them) - and that the moral codes were simply a way to control groups of people to be subordinate to ruling class - remember it was the ruling classes - wealthy families - who imported religion and those who were to preach - paid them well and set up their gospel (philosophy mixed with about 5% scripture) that set the stage for selfishness - self-gratification - and ignorance of the literal meaning of the Scriptures. 

 

Darwin and many others of the very intelligent (genius) of history have always rejected organized religion of men/women - many were burned at the stake (Wycliffe/Hess/Tyndale) - many were banished (Hutchinson) and who knows how many men/women/children were burned or killed simply for having a copy of the Scriptures.  Indeed - Augustine approved the killing (murder) of those who still clung to the early teachings of Jesus, Peter, James and Paul (as well as all of the Apostles and Seventy).  At least 150,000 were killed/murdered in the Northern countries of Europe.  The Spanish Inquisition eliminated thousands more.  And we see in our newspapers Christians being murdered through-out the nations of the world - either physically or emotionally. 

 

One must understand if Islam or extremists have their way, all but themselves whether believers or not are to be converted or killed/murdered in this life.  The TV, movies, music, media and any other noise makers (educators) all proclaim to our population - especially our youth - denigration of values, virtue, morals, truth-telling, and anything of being good instead of traipsing off to Babylon. The Pied Piper had nothing on what we are seeing today in the way of leading others astray. 

 

Darwin was simply a tool - being used by others (minions of the adversary) to accomplish the goal of selfishness and that of freely giving up their agency to choose right or wrong.  Someone else will do or has done it for them.  We call them dictatorships, large government, kings or queens, rulers who take away individual accountability and responsibility.  Sadly, many like the idea of a six-pack, Sunday football, ignoring the Ten Commandments and all other Commandments - to be free to do what they want - when they want  - as long as they don't violate men/women laws.  They don't need any of God's advice or direction, except as mixed with philosophy and rhetoric.  One cannot blame Darwin for all of this - as many if not the larger percentage of those who follow after evolution have never read his book (or follow-up) which puts them in good company as many who say they are Christian have never read the Scriptures fully and regularly to understand what they literally say.  When I was growing up in the 1950's - one could be excommunicated from the church I was raised in for reading the Bible - you could own one but not read it.  At the age of 11 I obtained permission from the parish priest to read it - would guess they thought I would not do so.  Read it fully - Geneses to Revelations!  I won't say I understood it - but there was enough there to help me understand what was being taught - and that the creed (which we had to memorize) didn't make any sense.  Can I blame Darwin for this - I'm sure he encountered the same if not harsher findings. 

 

Today we've a population - that if you asked them what they believed - and what they are supposed to believe - many would not have the two as one answer.  Why - most in common sense believe the Bible - however, when they look at the written beliefs of their various faiths many are in direct contradiction and/or varied from what the Scriptures literally teach.  When one adds to the rhetoric of what is taught in the schools, media, movies, TV or music - then one can understand fully the developed lack of interest by a majority of the population (especially in free nations) about religion.  When there is no common sense - no simplicity of understanding - then there is found confusion and contention (attributes of the adversary).  To be politically correct one must then follow the crowd as lemmings to the malls, theaters, music concerts, bars, sporting events and even to voting for the one's who'll give them the most with the least effort from them.  En mass is a society buried and burned - when the Savior was alive - masses flocked to him - but where were these masses when the enjoined masses were crying, "Crucify him, crucify him!"  They were silent - it has always been the case, those who follow the Savior and the Saviors appointed are always found to join – one at a time – a family here or there – very seldom do they join en mass – for the Saviors Church is the hardest Church in the world to be a member because your covenants are with Heavenly Father and eternal!  When our sons were younger – they would come to their mother or I and ask to do this or that.  We’d direct them to talk with Heavenly Father in personal prayer – because for what they were asking they had covenanted with him and not us to obey.  Smile, they would say that wasn’t fair – but acknowledge that is was more than fair.

 

Doctrine and Covenants 121:34 Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen?  35 Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, …” If one cannot put the worldly aside they cannot fully be a member or a follower of the Father and the Son!  Yes, one has to work – earn a living – eat – sleep – but one can do all of this and still uphold the standards of their covenants with the Father and obey all of the Commandments.  Men/women teach that this isn’t needful – and one can violate this or that and Father won’t care – one would guess then that the Father is a changeable God – and this is false doctrine – for God is not Changeable – he is perfect – and a changeable God would cause confusion and contention (again the adversary). 

 

What more can be said – Darwin was but a tool to beguile the masses into believing what they wanted to believe or better not believe.  Sadly, as a result – even those who want to know, understand, find the truth – are left in the cold – with the teachings of men/women mingled with Scriptures.  Afraid to ask – afraid to do as James and others have directed – afraid of offending family, friends, and in one case I know not wanting to give up their sporting events on the Sabbath. At what point do we stop blaming another and accept what we do as what we want to do – for our own reasons?  How do we stand when acknowledging that what we do is because of what we want to do – what we say – what we desire – what we want – who we are – instead of blaming another?  If one wants to believe that we descended from the beasts of the field – and that our animal instincts cannot be controlled and must be fulfilled (Kinsey and Freud) then so be it – but don’t blame Darwin or anyone else – look inside and see what you’ve become.  The same is true of those who chose to be obedient to the Commandments of a loving Heavenly Father – knowing and understanding each is a child of God – with divine traits and potentials!  We are either one or the other – and the only way to Zion is to choose to be a Child of God – and follow His Son.  c/ork

Huge waves gathering afar

knowing headed our way

do we ignore and still play

and pretend stuck in tar;

 

Blaming terror of the waves

freezing us unable to move

hoping another to approve

or seeking refuge in caves;

 

Yet reason tells us to leave

get far away as we are able

to a place safe and stable

to our family thus to cleave;

 

Are we not self-responsible

to choose right or wrong

in God’s truth to be strong

in agency self-accountable!

"Knowingly Understand"

(Addendum: “Thoughts to Simplify 2”)  cji 10/27/12

 

When one writes in answer to another’s questions – one accepts the responsibility for their answer.  That what one writes they feel to be the correct answer even if not politically correct – and teach hard doctrine doesn’t make the answer wrong – just that the ones receiving the answer don’t have to accept it in its totality.  What I write I testify to – without any reserve – for I’ve done the homework – research – prayed and received answers since being a small child.  For this like others I’ve never been the most wanted person in various church meetings.  As a matter of fact I was thrown out or asked to leave every church I attended for asking too many questions – cross checking the questions and coming back and pointing out where the answer given was invalid when compared to what was written in the Scriptures (Holy Bible – which I read for the first time at age 11).  Thus with this introduction to this addendum I’ll proceed to address a comment sent to me – that my writings lose their value when it appears I’ve insulted or offended someone who doesn’t believe, understand or know/testify of what I do. 

 

It appears I didn’t make myself clear when speaking of a ‘paid clergy’ or those who receive payment for preaching to others. Having read the Scriptures cover to cover many times I’ve yet to find one paid clergy, priest, minister, pastor, or elder within the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Yes, there were those who opposed the Savior were paid and those who came after the Saviors death in about 70AD-350AD required payment for their services of preaching.  And yes we’ve colleges, universities, divinity schools, seminaries and others who for a price will ordain someone to be a preacher, et. el.  However, in the Gospel of Jesus Christ – from the days of Adam and Eve to the death of the last Apostle (about 150AD) none were paid – not the Prophets or the Apostles.  The same is true today – those who serve as Prophet, Apostles, Seventies (full time) and other offices in the Church of Jesus Christ are not paid in fact they live the Law of Consecration. The Gospel of Jesus Christ teaches a lay ministry – with only a very small stipend for those who’ve been called full time to the service of the Lord. 

 

So therefore my comments now and whenever I write reflect this understanding that there is no paid clergy – for the Saviors Church then and now and in every dispensation have not ever had a paid clergy.  Yes, this thinking makes waves – and yes some find it insulting.  This is my understanding – would you prefer me to be politically correct so that what I write comes as slow pitch softball or to teach a hard doctrine which is true?  At the same time one must ask what they teach and for whom do they teach?  If it is for Christ then why not his Gospel – if it is for man then the mixing of philosophy and scriptures becomes reasonable.  When someone is on the payroll of another – regardless of who’s payroll they are then accountable in time and what they teach (or produce) for the one making the payment.  When someone is in the fulltime employment of the Lord they’ve a responsibility to teach his doctrine as given in the Scriptures and to his Prophet on the this earth at this time.  Many have professed seeing and communicating with Angels – has anyone ever noted that Angels only teach what’s in the Scriptures? 

 

This alludes to the idea of which church or is there one church or why are there some 52,000+ churches found in the USA alone?  When I was a child we used to travel to see my adopted grandparents and each time we went we attended a different church.  When asking why – the only answer was, “we were unhappy with the last one’s teachings.”  Each and every one of those 52,000+ churches should claim to be the only true church – as God is not a God of confusion – but one of order.  God is not a God of contention – but rather one of peace.  There should only be one church – one baptism and one Gospel of Jesus Christ which should come from the Scriptures literally.  There should be no mixing in of philosophy or the beliefs of men/women – no justifications – no excuses – but should teach the joy of obedience to the Commandments, Statutes and Laws of the Father and the Son.  Thus, simplifying what is taught – that there is eternal life for everyone willing to do what the Scriptures teach.  Many teach that the Holy Bible is complete – but would a loving Father only teach his children in one little part of the earth – when he’s children all over the globe?  Even the Holy Bible refers to other Scriptures – in both the Old and New Testaments. 

 

Should I quote chapter and verse, no!  For each should own a copy of their own Bible (Holy Bible) – and they should read their own Bible – again I suggest the KJV prior to 1870 – but again any Bible will do – just cross-reference if something seems confusing (the Gideon Bible would be a good cross-reference choice) – and see what the Scriptures tell them individually.  If the Bible talks of other people and other scriptures shouldn’t one be curious as to where these might be found?  If your Bible talks of a ‘restoration’ prior to the 2^nd Coming shouldn’t one be interested to know if this has occurred and if not why not or when?  Thus, for each individual who can read and write; comprehend and understand; ask questions and receive answers; they are accountable for this gift. They should knowingly understand whether what they’ve seen, heard or read make common sense or not in their lives.  Too many being able to do the foregoing sentence – don’t or won’t do it!  This is their choice but they will be accountable for their choices (all of them).  Everyone (to repeat myself from earlier writings) will be accountable and responsible for what they do know and what they should know.  (Again those without the law – will not be accountable for the law until they learn of it in its fullness.) 

 

Each person has a choice – to uphold the Commandments of God or to ignore one or all of them as many today seem to do.  However, each person is not you individually who are reading this or reading the Scriptures – it is you or I and we need to know there are no excuses or justifications.  The Gospel of Jesus Christ is intended to have us learn what we are to do in order to return to the Father and the Son – with our families and to partake of eternal life – with a physical body of flesh and bone.  Job, Stephen, Isaiah, Malachi, Moses, Peter, James, John and most importantly the Savior all taught this doctrine fully. 

 

There is nothing here which says that those who accept money for teaching the Gospel are not truthful or good people.  Many of those I count as friends do exactly this for their livings.  And I’m the majority are doing it for the right reasons.  Thus again each can draw their own understandings or what is taught in the Holy Bible – literally and not loosely interpreted mixed with the philosophy of men and women. 

 

At my age and health I’m too old to worry much about how much someone likes or dislikes me or what I write – however, all who know me know that presenting truth is most important – and if I’ve a truth about eternal life and I did not share it with my friends and neighbors – at some point after this life I will be held accountable and responsible for what I should’ve done.  Therefore be made at me now – feel offended or insulted by what I write – but do it now – and not after this life.  Let me carry it one step further; if the evolutionist or any others who do not believe and acknowledge what I claim to know and testify of – if they’re correct and I’m wrong – what have I lost? Nothing!  However, if what I understand to be true and testify of is correct doctrine what have they lost?

"Thoughts to Simplify" (Evolution - Creation - Gospel of Jesus Christ) cji 10/26/12

 

I was asked my thoughts on the article referenced below:

"Thoughts to Simplify" (Evolution - Creation - Gospel of Jesus Christ)  cji 10/26/12

 

Thoughts - hmmm.... it would seem that someone is mixing grapefruit with chocolate!  First, some 3400 books of Scripture are missing; second - every word in the Old and New Testament were translated several times and by those who had a political agenda after 70AD; and third - man's logismoi will never equal a Prophet's gnosis or the Father or the Son or a Seer - in translation or wisdom.  Over the millennium of time since the first written words, symbols and records (which started with Adam and the Book of Life - which no one has a current copy) only a very few scholars have ever lived who could translate the actual texts of the oldest living documents (mostly on stone or plates).  Even the in-fighting over the Dead Sea Scrolls has accomplished little as no one reads them. 

 

The division between those scholars who can read and write and the audiences they service is great and to the point that most just take the word of those doing the reading, i.e. Bible study groups - the pastor, minister, priest, cleric, rabbi and whoever tell you what it says and what it means.  The creeds of men/women are basically philosophical logismoi which no one really claims to believe or if they do understand - and if they say they believe and understand in reality they are denying what the Scriptures say  per se'.  When anyone uses big words - makes it complicated - they are talking down to anyone who is trying to understand what they are saying.  Even sometimes I'm not sure using the word 'logismoi' or 'gnosis' is a good idea.  Paul used these words - but again most have never read Paul completely and very little of what he wrote has been preserved over the time since he lived.  Peter alluded to both of these - but even Peter while alive questioned what people would say he said or wrote while alive - when those who were there with him - taught what he had said as being different from what he'd said.

 

When anyone comes forward to instruct another in the Scriptures and they are not being clear, concise and totally understandable, then be forewarned that they've some type of agenda. There is so much known that the intelligent orators of our world then and now - choose to deliberately to overlook or shade gray or purple haze - that one is better off studying and reading the Scriptures on their own.  (note: this writer suggests a Bible prior to the 1870's - as the age of revisionists began in earnest after 1880 and has blossomed into some 50,000+ revisionists Bibles.   The most correct was around 1759 KJV - as this was almost entirely the efforts of William Tyndale (at least 80% of it).  As an example one knows that Isaiah and others taught about the coming of the Savior - who he was - and much about him - but this was removed from the Scriptures - the usage of the name of Jehovah and our Heavenly Father's name were removed - and Lord and LORD were used in their place (while some churches today refuse to accept or understand this and therefore change or remove even the watered down Scriptures we have today. 

 

One must remember - that the Scriptures (especially the New Testament) is not in chronological order.  And much of the Old Testament (as the New) is missing or only partially preserved.  Would usages and punctuation are sometimes wrong and thus give a different meaning than what was intended.  And things then when the Prophets lived and recorded their teachings which were taken for granted (therefore not explained) have changed.  Most seldom refer to primary source material in writing or research - and thus certainly not when teaching the product of their writing or research.  Churches and those with a vested interest (anyone who makes their living off of religion - priests, nuns, rabbi's, ministers, clergy, clerics, pastors, deacons, and so on and so forth) need to continue the 'big lie' or 'lack of information' or 'mis-information' or 'mysteries' or 'hidden meanings' do this so as to keep employed.  Actually most are dependent upon how many show up at their meetings to make a living - so they teach what the biggest donators of their congregations want taught.  It would be beyond belief one could read the Bible literally and not understand it on their own.  It is simple, clear, concise and to the point.  The Son says he is doing the Will of his Father - it should be read - the Son is doing the Will of his Father!  Who needs and explanation of what this means?  Yet almost every creed and teaching is that there is no Son or Father - but they are one - without body, passions or anything else. 

 

Now to the idea of the article which seems to be forthcoming from many - creation or evolution?  Creation was so taken for granted by the early followers of the Savior and His Father that most felt no need to continually repeat - rather they just referred to it.  The same can be understood with the Flood or the Parting of the Sea (waters).  Darwin admitted in his own writings he could never prove his theory - but yet men/women chose to believe it to be fact without proof.  Today they teach it as fact while it is still yet to be proved.  So what is that makes this such an issue?  It is the selfishness of men/women who feel there is no need of God - or a creative force - taught by the churches of today - Creatio-ex-nihilo - or creation out of nothing.  Any five year old knows that to have something tangible you have to make it out of something tangible.  Evolution - which by the way does take place - in the idea of decay and growth and decay and growth - but one cannot plant an apple seed and get a pear tree.  One gets what they plant - nothing more or less - until they graft in something else.  The animals (dinosaurs) had to live and die - and thus we've resources in the earth today to be used for other purposes - how many years (millions or billions) who knows - there are some excellent studies which by the saline content in the seas which can give a clue to this - but to the average person it matters only that they lived and died and we get gasoline to run our vehicles. 

 

There is much most will never understand while in mortality - why - because they've not prepared themselves to learn and discern on their own.  Many who've lived on this planet earth never learned to read or write - some (most) have never lived outside of a very contained environment - even today this is true - and until the last 100 years - there was no TV, Radio, Movies, Internets, and mass communications available to anyone.  Therefore what went on in one part of the world was unknown in someplace else.  Thus, one could say those in Europe living in mud huts and other forms of housing were unaware of those living in Middle America in Stone or other living accommodations.  Those who used irrigation in the various jungles of South America were most likely unaware that others didn't know about this utilization.  Was it evolution which took us from walking to riding?  Or better - wearing coverings for our nakedness to wearing the latest fashions?  For those starving or barely surviving in 3rd world nations - one would guess this is not a very important subject for them.  Yet, even a starving person can see and recognize another that is not - and wonder why?  They don't know about the millions or billions in aid given to their nation’s leaders - but the leaders do - and therefore the accountability will someday be measured.  For evolutionists this will never happen - the end is the end - but for those who know of the Father and the Son - they know, and while helpless to do anything at this time - they know that both justice and mercy will be meted out at the judgment bar.  Most churches teach if you're not baptized in this life you are damned - which makes little common sense - but wreaks of final judgment on the part of those who teach such false doctrine.  Some teach love or hate or both at the same time - but understand not James 1:27.  Yet they all want to discuss their favorite doctrines mixed with philosophy and men's/women's wisdom.  

 

Let’s get back to the original article of discussion of evolution and creation.  Evolution taught in the format of Darwin - is meaningless - a theory unproven and with little common sense or simplicity.  Those who teach creation without knowledge of the Father and the Son - and the pure simplicity of the Scriptures are in the same boat of confusion and contention.  It would appear that neither teaches absolute obedience to the Ten Commandments (and other Commandment, Statutes and Laws of the Father and the Son) but only what they chose to empathize.  You cannot teach just one or the other - however, to teach about either one has to understand the purpose of this life and what it means for 'life eternal' or 'salvation' - instead of just being 'saved' or returning to nothing.  Everyone born into mortality is 'saved' this was through the Atonement of the Savior for our transgressions.  However, not everyone will enter into 'eternal life' to live once more with the Father and the Son and their individual families with bodies of skin and bone. (Read the Scriptures it is all there in print - clear, concise and simple to understand.)  Evolutionists believe one lives and dies - many churches teach 'dust to dust' or 'nothing to nothing' (read their creeds) and that at most one returns to being a spirit without body or parts.  Yet this isn't the way that the Savior was described after His resurrection or when Paul, Stephen or others saw him - yet man/woman needs to feel that there is no more need for the Father and the Son - as they've all they need.  Thus in some sort of strange play most churches teach what the evolutionists teach - nothing to nothing - having somehow evolved only to die without anything hereafter.  And vice-versa - the evolutionists teach what the churches teach - nothing to nothing - as they certainly don't teach what we will evolve into - as they've tied their kite strings to the idea of the survival of the fittest (Spencer) and therefore eventually something or someone will devour everything else.

 

Mostly those who argue evolution or creation do so for a profit or justification for dominion over another.  One is wealthier or stronger - or whatever than other to rule over those who are not so blessed.  One can be a hedonist and do whatever they want - either in or out of religion/evolution - without any consequences - for one it doesn't matter and for the other there's death bed confession.  One has choices to make in this mortal probation - either to choose well or to choose 'not good'.  Obedience as described as to only choose well!  "If you love me, keep my Commandments," leaves no wiggle room - none!  Again, read the Scriptures!  There is true repentance - but one cannot sin with the understanding they'll repent later.  One can sin without a true knowledge of the law - and therefore when taught the true knowledge - they can truly repent and go and sin no more.  Too many make excuses and justifications for the sake of discussion - argument - or whatever - but one must remember the rule giver didn't allow for man-made excuses or justifications for one who knows the rules, laws, statutes and commandments. 

 

Thus the usage of creation - evolution or trying to tell another of what something means in the Scriptures is not a teaching of the Scriptures.  Agency - choice - good/evil - Zion/Babylon - and the mission and Gospel of Jesus Christ are taught in the Scriptures so all can understand them clearly, concisely and simply.  Each individual is accountable and responsible for what they know and what they should've known! Only those without the law can be held unaccountable or responsible.  i.e. little children before the age of eight - those who've not been raised and taught the law - those born with mental illnesses - those with physical handicaps which preclude being able to learn and function - those living at a time or place where the law is unknown - and possibly other circumstances which this writer is unaware. 

 

Where did we come from - why are we here - where might we be going when we leave here - this is what the Scriptures teach each of us - if we but read - ponder - pray and ask Father in the name of the Son - (James 1:5) - with a pure heart and intent.  Nothing is complicated in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Ask yourself this question - if you're a loving Father or Mother - would you want to trick, lie, beguile, or otherwise mislead your children?  Why then would Heavenly Father want to do this to us?  He doesn't - he loves us - and if we love him - we'll keep his Commandments!  We must each ponder, pray, study it out in our minds, and seek wisdom from Heavenly Father - this is the Gospel of Jesus Christ - and not the logismoi of men or women.

“Hitting on a Sensitive Nail” cji 10/17/12

“Hitting on a Sensitive Nail” cji 10/17/12
Hitting on a sensitive nail – that of the need to be peaceful, loving and understanding to improve relationships with others is very important and for some time consuming.  The ideals stated are those which are why MLK Jr. was killed. He truly wanted full integration and understood the problems involved in achieving this and the process above. JJ an Big Al - wanted separate but equal and MLK Jr became expendable.
All of the words in the world will never make two people become friends or enemies. Each person has to associate with another person as a child of God. And as Bob says in (What About Bob) - "like phone booths some are out of order, so you go to another phone booth." We'll find both friends and enemies among all those we meet - intermediate judgment tells us which we enjoy being around and those who we don't. It is wise to follow the discernment of intermediate judgment - but it doesn't mean we don't love our brother - but it does tell us we don't like some of his behaviors. We never are to make final judgment on anyone as we do not know why they are the way they are or the reasons for what they do.
We are first and foremost accountable for who and what we are and do. This is where our schools, churches and society is failing - in that they do not teach accountability or responsibility for one’s own actions. It is not politically correct to do so - i.e. teach morals, values, honesty, virtue, truth-telling, doing right for the right reason at the right time/place. Instead the teaching is all about hatred, evil, entitlements, ‘it’s okay to commit a little sin, cheat a little, by unchaste, and the list continues, lie a little, etc.’  Teaching anything to pacify and justify behavior which has no meaning or value to the society.  This in the end teaches separatism, and thus divides and destroys law, public good, and ultimately the family and society. 
The hitting on a sensitive nail has been tried by every generation since the time of Cain and Able.  It has always led to the destruction of many – while the wicked rule the righteous will always suffer for stating the truth and the obvious.  In the story of the “Emperor’s New Clothes” – it took a child to state the obvious – we’re all to become like little children.  We’re to become honest, loving, forgiving, forgetting, and trying to bring happiness and smiles by behavior in accordance with the Ten Commandments (whether a believer or not). 
Those in our society who want to see freedom’s, rights of the citizen, the US Constitution and the family survive better not be afraid to be found hitting on the sensitive nail of truth. Any who cannot be fully involved in their family, God and Country will reap that which those who don’t harvest.  Telling the truth is only ‘hard language’ to those who don’t want to be found in the light of truth. Oh there is so much to be learned and shared – but until each individual in this free society wake up and start reading and studying for themselves – one is deemed to live in the learning of those who do it for them and their goals – which most times have little to do with their goals or souls.
Someday - we'll all be accountable and responsible for how we lived our lives - if one has one shred of belief in God the Father and His Son. If you don't it won't matter as you'll still be accountable and responsible if you find you were wrong and those who believe were correct. Yes, the opposite is true - if you're right and we're wrong our having lived accountable and responsible lives will not make a difference - except for those we loved and shared and served throughout our lives.

 

“A Sensitive Nail”

The blacksmith at work knows

hotter the nail the better effect

framing the shoe or rim to be

yet applied to the human nail

more sensitive it becomes

for one doesn’t like change

and the hammering is change

molding, shaping -awakening

seeking to open one’s eyes

their hearts and minds too

of reality’s truth to view

while affecting all too few!

“Should There Come a Storm” cji 10/17/12

“Should There Come a Storm”  cji 10/17/12

Several national and sideline media outlets have been asking the question of what violence will occur regardless of which candidate wins the election in 2012!  You can go to most on-line sites and see the discussion and comments – depending on which side of the fence you lean.  The sad part is that there seems to be something missing – as it seems predetermined that if the incumbent wins or loses there will be violence.  What one is saying is that the violent elements on both sides cannot be restrained.  This seems incredulous as over the past 60 years violence has been controlled by outsiders in almost every instance – and then blamed on those who get caught.  In Watts – the ones responsible were so upset that they received no credit – that they went public to get their due credit for the destruction and vandalism. 

In reading the interesting comments there are definite lines being drawn in the sand – this is exactly what those pushing the ‘riot’ agenda want to happen!  Thus like lemmings leading the citizens of the US into chaos and fighting among them.  One could blame George Soros for this as he has forced this issue on the US and done so for his selfish reasons of a world government.  This is understandable because as well as being wealthy he thinks he is smarter than the Chinese (which he is not).  Yet he does control the MSM – and he does control many politicians – and therefore dictates policy and behavior.  Americans have to be more in tune with what is happening – class warfare – separation and racism – hatred and violence – being politically correct.  Sadly, this is what led to the Civil War – it is what almost destroyed the US in the American Revolution – and for the past 130 years had wreaked havoc on the family and personal respect and values.  When those men met on the Golden Isles in the 1880’s they started the complete downfall of all that the Founding Fathers had fervently sacrificed their all for.  Since then it has continued to get worse – each financial crisis in the US has been man-made – deliberate and without remorse from the extremely wealthy and powerful.  Power is the goal – human beings are a waste product and expendable to those who seek power.  Puppets are found amid the politicians, judges, lawyers and almost every walk of life.  This includes all of those who walk of life of those who’ve become totally dependent upon the government without having to do anything except riot when their leaders demand.

To change direction for a moment let’s look as the seedbed of rioting.  Each major sporting event is a target of opportunity which means with the proper tactics one can plan riots and looting very successfully without the involvement of the various teams or fans even knowing. This is the case many times if not every time! Each occasion where an inter-city has been ravaged such as Watts, Harlem, Rochester, Detroit, Newark and many others were such a situation - organized by outsiders. They’ve used a multitude of reasons – excuses for causing riots such as Rodney King - who was trained in prison to go berserk if he were to be arrested again - this way the blame is on the police - which is what happened and he becomes the victim.  This is repetitive over and over – sporting events – elections – graduations – even a simple arrest of a known criminal – where someone either inside or outside instigated hatred and then violence.

Just in the past couple of weeks – two girls were attacked and beaten up in a park – the criminals not satisfied with their efforts then went after another victim – only this one was armed – fought back and one of the criminals (15 years old) died the other (13 years old) in the hospital.  Both were high on drugs – out after curfew but their parents and families cried they were the victims.  Why all reality in truth seems lost – everyone wants to be the victim when caught in the commission of crimes or a family member who has.  Even with the facts in the criminals families are making heroes of these criminals.  No one has even thought about the drugs, the two young women or their intended victim.

Now back to today - for the past six months the various churches/organizations in the this nation have left rumors about that the riots are to take place – to take back what was theirs from those who “took it from them unrighteous.” This is not in silence it can be overheard on a Trolley in New Orleans and in local rants and raves of extreme leaders. Similar to the rhetoric found in the 1960's. I was in Harlem (1964) with Dr. King and others. I was also in Rochester (1964) as well when the days were peaceful - and at night there were riots. None of this is fun or games and many people will get hurt and killed. The innocent with the violent! Never forget the violent are motivated by others with designs which have nothing to do law and freedom. They'll have nothing to do with freedom - but enslavement so they the motivators can ensure their power and dominion. One of the reasons that MLK was murdered was because he didn't see it their way - the same with many others. The ones who killed MLK assumed his mantle by deceit and guile pushing for separatism and using any minute situation to scream and hollow against whites especially.  They did this at Duke University, and then on the other-hand ignored the rape and murder of a young white couple.  When one has the power to pick and choose they’ve the power to manipulate situations to their benefit.  Dr. King was for all people coming together – while those who have stolen his dream have no such thoughts. 

There are equally bad whites and others who manipulate and the worst being politicians and political machines – striving for power and thus willing to sell their souls (and any who follow them) to the highest bidder.  In the US this is usually George Soros – and he’s sold his soul to China.  While the evil and bad are a very small majority – they make the most noise and in the searching for truth – one needs to call a lie – a lie!  Political correctness protects these parasites – enables them – and breeds their contempt of everyone but those in bed with them and even them if the occasion arises. 

One must be very careful when 'talking riots' and 'killing' this is what allows those who desire such actions to succeed. Yes be prepared - we've a government which is striving for martial law - Soros is behind the idea of doing away the Constitution and our way of life! He's the baking of China (actually he's their tool - but doesn't know it).

Something to ponder is your families - homes - food supply (prices will go up and much will be destroyed). In winter storms stores can be sold out within 3 days - everything - even total useless junk.  One must know their neighbors – their community – if not there will be no trust – and this is what the outsiders want – they want us to hate each other – not to trust each other – the direct opposite of what we are commanded by the Father and the Son.  Innocent people will be killed, maimed, hurt and have their lives ruined if we are not careful to understand that those who are pushing this idea of rioting and hatred have their way.  We must understand – and find the appropriate actions and not reactions.  This is an area where decision-making has to be made in advance – considering the best scenario and the worst.

Now from a more practical point of view - most of the rioting will have to come within crowded urban areas - and wherever the Jihadist are located (they're the wildcard) - better trained and better weapons. However, everything outside of the beltways has armed citizens who will not back down against adversary. The largest land army of freedom is within the boundaries of the US. The question is where with the Police - the National Guard - Army - Navy - Marines - Air Force and Coast Guard be found? Will they support and sustain the Constitution or the mobs of violence?  And remember whether Black, White, Native American, Cuban, Hispanic, European or from outer space we are all in this together and we must not turn against each other.  We are Americans – first, last and forever – or alternatively we will be slaves to whoever comes out on top!  If you live in America – if you work in America – if you partake of the Freedom found in America – and you claim to be something other than an American – and will not fight for the Constitution then you are the enemy! 

Without America if you are the enemy – you must remember without America you’ll never have the freedoms which you now enjoy – they will be gone – if you don’t think so look at the wolves on the fence: China; Russia; Korea; Iran; Islamic Extremists; each filled with the most inhuman treatment of others in the history of the world.  Wake up – before it grows too late.  Hey, I’m old – I know what will happen to me if any of the above becomes a reality – I’ve seen the best and the worst of human behavior.  Now – remember this earth and our world will continue to get more and more evil – and the deeds of men/women will rewrite the books of hatred and atrocities.  Easy reading on this can be found in Isaiah and Revelations – and if you want more ask and I’ll provide a reading list. 

 

“Should There Come a Storm”

10/17/12

 

Raising and fierce winds

calling on the depths of hell

breaking down all in sight

destruction within and without

unprepared most to react

screaming and dashing about

madly clawing and demanding

unable to find self-control

retching in the street alone

should there come a storm

like none before seen to be

maddening and defeating

defacing and dehumanizing

mothers and children ravaged

suckling infants dashed upon

violence like the volcanos

earthquakes of men/women

enjoined to destroy others

should there come a storm!
